Fall Colors

Hi, Friends.....

It's Thanksgiving card time of the year again! I find it helpful to choose a sketch to use for mass producing my Thanksgiving cards. In the past it has usually been one of Julee's at Viva la Verve Sketch challenge....and so it is again this year! :)

I was immediately attracted to this sketch because of all the delicious scraps I could use LAYERS in the design. I have an entire tub completely full of scraps that are in fall prints!!! Seriously....one of those 12x12 clear cases that is 3 inches deep...you know the ones I mean, right? Plus other miscellaneous bags of them!!! So when I see a fabulous layered sketch around Thanksgiving...I am sooooooooooo IN!!!

I use this So Grateful stamp nearly every year for many of my Thanksgiving cards. Inside the card I stamp a scripture and Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope you like my card. This was the first of my cards using this sketch, but I have made several batches of Thanksgiving cards with this sketch so far. Can somebody please explain how I have MORE autumn scraps now than when I started??!!! Eeek!! This defies all known laws of physics and mathematics. Scraps are scary!!

Super card, Janis, all the different papers go so well together and I love the added lace. The bag of leaves look like they were a really good buy, they are so realistic! Visiting your blog today with my DT hat on - good luck in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month. Liz xx

How pretty! That sketch is perfect for using up some scraps (maybe I should give it a try!) and the scraps you have are beautiful! And I love the leaf as the main panel; so fun! As to the scraps, oh, yes, they really do multiply. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.

Your beautiful fall leaf card actually motivated me to make cards tonight, for the first time in weeks! I love fall colors so much but never seem to make any fall themed cards. My stash of fall papers seems really small (a term which is relative for paper hoarders like us, right?) so I may have to start haunting the sale aisles at Michaels here soon.
